If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Amazon Omni Series could be the right choice, as it typically comes at a lower price. However, its overall picture quality, performance in dark and bright rooms, and gaming experience are not as strong as the TCL R655. On the other hand, the TCL R655 tends to be more expensive, but it offers significantly better picture quality, especially in dark environments, making it ideal for movie enthusiasts. It also has superior performance for gaming and handles bright rooms with ease. This model would be a better fit if you prioritize image quality and gaming and are willing to invest more. Keep in mind that neither of these TVs come with great built-in speakers, so you might consider an external sound system whichever you choose. Give Feedback

The TCL R655 (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R655 excels in movie-watching because it has better contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity features that enhance picture depth and detail in dark scenes, which are crucial for cinematic experiences, whereas the Amazon Omni lacks local dimming and has poorer black uniformity, so it struggles to deliver those deep blacks important in movies. Additionally, the TCL R655 offers superior out-of-the-box colors and color volume, providing more vibrant and true-to-life images right away, while the Omni's performance in these areas is less impressive, impacting the overall visual quality of movie content.

The TCL R655 (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has a poor response time and doesn't support motion processing, resulting in less smooth action during sports, and it struggles with reflections which can be distracting in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the TCL R655 offers a good response time and fair motion processing capabilities, meaning it handles fast-moving sports content better, plus it deals very well with reflections, making it suitable for brighter environments.

The TCL R655 (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series displays poor performance in colors straight out of the box and has a limited color gamut, making it a less suitable choice for watching cartoons and animation, where vibrant and accurate colors are essential. The TCL R655, on the other hand, provides good color reproduction without much tweaking and supports a wider color gamut, resulting in a more vivid and engaging viewing experience for animated content.

The TCL R655 (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The TCL R655 provides superior upscaling and SDR brightness, which enhances the clarity of news and talk shows, while its satisfactory colors out of the box mean less tweaking for a natural picture. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni Series is fair in these aspects; while it offers good SDR brightness, its upscaling and color reproduction aren't as impressive as the TCL R655, resulting in a less optimal viewing experience for regular TV programs.

In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series has lower brightness in both SDR and HDR and struggles more with reflections, which can be a limitation in well-lit environments.

"If you want a competent budget screen with some handy features, the Amazon Omni TV delivers an experience that punches well above its price tag. You’ll also get the benefit of Fire TV’s new UI right out of the box. It’s clean and simple to understand, plus it puts content first. In the picture-quality department, the Amazon Omni is a surprising star among some of its dimmer, less colorful rivals."

"It has an excellent Roku interface, isn’t too expensive, has quantum dots and mini LED backlighting, and looks genuinely fantastic playing everything. If you’re in the market for a new TV, you should still start here. Gamers will like that it has a 120-Hz refresh rate at 4K, which is the maximum that a modern Xbox or Playstation 5 will put out—meaning the smoothest possible gaming and sports viewing in general. We’re no longer in the days of having to spend over $1,000 and spending a few hours on setup for decent black levels and great color accuracy and HDR"

About Amazon
Amazon, the largest online retailer in North America, has forged partnerships with TCL and Hisense to produce white-label TVs incorporating their Fire OS software. These Amazon-branded TVs typically compete in the low-end and mid-range segments, offering compelling price points. Leveraging their strong reputation, Amazon has swiftly built brand trust in the TV market despite being relatively new to it. To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
